bbc.co.uk is launched, 12 December 1997

The innovation of the internet was championed internally by Director-General John Birt, who saw how it could transform Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's global media role, and mobilised R&D and managerial expertise to make it happen. There were initial problems that publication of web pages did not sit within the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Charter, but this obstacle was overcome, and on 12 December 1997, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ website was officially launched.
